Now, the reasons he didn't pull up and ramp up the engines are debatable, but the equitable explanations suggest that he assumed that the airplane's stall protection would kick in, while the airplane had disabled them because it thought it was about to land.
You can hear the engines spool up after it disappears into the trees. A bit late, however.
While other nations like New Zealand have too many gas emitting sheep. It's not always about the humans. And, by the way, China is exempt from its requirements.
The thing you're not taking into account is risk. There is an absolute risk that something will happen to you (get laid off, catastrophic car accident, H5N1, etc.) that will cause you to not be able to pay your bill, and your precious -1% APR becomes 32% instantly.
Easy: if you're still using 115 to power your beefy servers that don't require 200-240, stop doing that. Use 208v instead. Most datacenters should have high voltage available. Less amp draw as the voltage goes up. As a bonus, your power supply will run cooler, too.
We already do this. If you don't play nice or conform to the way the rest of the net works, your BGP session gets dropped and you can't talk to everyone who does want to play nice. Or others null route you at their border.
I can start up my own little internet any time I want. Anyone can, there's nothing stopping them. But if I don't have routes to things people want, I won't have any customer base to speak of. It's just that the current internet, with all its peering points and transit agreements, is what everyone really wants access to.
Uhm... yes? If I can hear the music clearly from your earbuds across the room, your "coolness factor" (apparently consisting of making sure everyone can hear your really loud rap music) will not prevent hearing damage. I say let 'em. Common sense will prevail for the rest of us.
Coverage is highly subjective to your location. Ask people you know how they feel about their cell coverage. For example, people love GSM and Cingular, but the GSM coverage in Nevada is sucky. Sprint (which I have) is pretty good here; I moved away from Cingular since the GSM coverage was so bad. Maybe it's better now, but my friends had Sprint and their phones always worked when mine didn't, so that's what sold me.
Then someone will make the whole sales floor an active RFID zone. If something disappears from a scan without being checked out or transported properly by the system, you're caught.
I'm still waiting for someone to point out a really good reason why we need DST. All it does is irritate me having to deal with resetting clocks.
Furthermore, what the hell does this have to do with energy conservation? I'm still going to turn the fracking lights on when it gets dark; I don't look at the clock and go "hey, it's 7, time to turn on all the lights."
An emergency instills in the mind that their lives are in imminent danger. From earlier news stories regarding this gap filler, it has always sounded like more of a precaution than an emergency.
Well, this is apparently an "emegency", which is not nearly as dangerous as an "emergency". Nothing to worry about.
At 36,000 RPM and a whole hell of a lot of horsepower in a small package, it could fail in a bad exploding-turbine way if it suddenly went from full load (pumping LOX or H2) to no load.
It doesn't fix the problem of seeing random bad movies, but it does save me many hours of frustration standing around in the video store.
With the added bonus of not feeling like you wasted money on a bad movie. If it sucks, back in the mail it goes, to be replaced by something new at no additional cost.
It depends on the area. On the other end of the valley up here in Reno near the Mt. Rose area, there's properties up there in the $8 million and up range (saw an ad for a house listed at $11 million the other day; holy crap, $11 million?) and a lot of people with more money than they know what to do with. This is especially true of any property that can view Lake Tahoe. If your congregation can all afford those kind of houses with millions to spare, it's possible the clergy of the church in that area could afford a Lexus... or two.
Almost half a dozen names instantly come to mind, of excellent stuff they've done. Dune. Battlestart Galactica. Farscape. I'm probably missing a few...
I enjoy Stargate Atlantis as well. Airs back to back with Battlestar Galactica on Friday. It would be fun if they could stick Firefly in there (if Fox ever lets it go back to TV) once Stargate SG-1 is too played out.
However, as it's clear that 68K support WILL be dead when OS X 10.5 rolls out, I'm starting to reverse-engineer my few remaining 68K apps in Cocoa...
That's really what I was alluding to with the "68k is dead" comment. I realise that my old Quadra 610 (I still have the System 7 disks, too) will still keep working as long as I turn the power on. I do recall, however, that Rosetta wouldn't run everything PPE, i.e. a G5-only binary.
Although Rosetta and "universal binaries" feel like a return to the 68k emulation and "fat binaries" days. Since the OS is not the major change, it will probably be just as unobtrusive.

One thing I've gotta say about it (and Exploitation Now) is that they are pretty damn well drawn.

Damn... this is the first time i checked slashdot today, and for a second there I thought I'd gone back in time.
Who is right?
The person with a card reader.
Finally we can again make bluescreen disks which won't be defeated with a trivial press on the shift key, hehe...
I prefer Goatse and friends. Good clean fun for school computer labs and the like.
Problem: if stupid people go deaf the rest of us will have to listen to them shouting their inane conversations at each other.
Damn... maybe it would be better to go deaf than listen to people discuss the latest episode of Big Brother louder than they already do.

Set your clocks to UCT, and learn to do addition.
I already do this with servers. It does tend to confuse people, however.

Why do we even need DST? The state of Arizona seems to still work just fine.
If this did not happen and the tank completely emptied, he said that it could cause major damage to the shuttle's main engines.

The engine bell itself probably doesn't care, but it needs to cut off on low fuel because of these suckers:
